BY honoring such men with official posi-

ELECTION TICKETS.

G1xIS4 xOAs L 1Nh Z 4
The Kansas legislature, last win
ter, passed a law which makes it at
once unsafe and Improbable to at
tempt to use deception in peddling
tickets. 1t provides that all printed
tickets must, hereafter, have a space
left at least one-eighth of an inch in
width after the name Of each can
didate. When ballot with desig-
mated heading contains printed or
pasted thereon, instead of another a
name not found on the regular bal
lot having such heading, such names
shall be regarded by the judges as
having been placed thereon for the
purpose Of fraud, and the ballot
shall not be counted for the name so
found. Any person printing or
causing to be printed or pasted bal
lots as described, or a ballot which
omits any name found on the reg
ular ticket, or any person who ham
dies or distributes such fraudulent
ballots, shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, and on conviction will
be liable to a fine Of not less than
$25 nor more than $500, or to be
imprisoned in the county jail not ex-
ceeding sixty days. And whoever
furnishes an elector who cannot read
with a ticket, informing him that it
contains a name different from
those written or printed thereon, or
who fraudulently or deceitfully
changes the ballot on any elector, is
also liable to fine Of $500 and
ninety days in Jail.
At the election this fall and at all
elections hereafter held in this State,
printed tickets must be exactly what
their heading proclaims them to be.
That is, ticket headed "Republican
ticket must have printed thereon
only the names Of Republican nomi-
nees. and a ticket headed Democratic
ticket must have printed thereon only
the names of Democratic nominees,
etc. The law does not, Of course,
forbid scratching with pencil or
ink. Any elector can ''scratch" any
or every name printed on ticket, and
write, instead, the name Of any
other person or persous he chooses
to vote for. The law was simply
intended to prevent deception at the
polls, by means of spurious tickets,
which were not what their heading
indicated them to be. Atevery cleo
ton, for years past, hundreds Of
voters have been deceived by means
of printed or pasted tickets. When
a printed ticket is scratched" with
a lead pencil or pen, and other names
written on its face, the change is
at once, and no voter can
thereby be deceived. But the most
intelligent men can be, and have
been, deceived by pasted tickets, or
by tickets which were falsely printed.
The election judges cannot hereafter,
count such spurious printed tickets,
and any person printing or circulat-
ing such spurious printed or pasted
tickets is guilty Of a misdemeanor,
and subject to a fine and imprison-
ment.
The law is a good one, and should
be rigidly enforced. 1t is in the in
terest of honest elections
